It's also worth noting that Shawn Mendes has cited John Mayer's music as an inspiration of his. Like most people, it seems that Hailey has a couple of types ... and Shawn seems to be a fusion of them.

Shawn Mendes, like we said, really seems to be a good guy.

A couple of years ago when gay rumors were following him around -- perpetuated by fans who thought that he "seemed gay," not by any stories of alleged hookups -- he managed to shut down the rumors without coming across as homophobic.

Speaking of those commenters on social media, Shawn said:

"They can do or be or feel however they want to feel. Now I’m not frustrated because people were saying that I was gay at all, I have no problem with that cause it wouldn’t make a difference to me."

Very mature.

"I’m frustrated because in this day and age, people have the audacity to write online that I’m gay as if it were a big thing."

Like Hailey, Shawn seems to have a good head on his shoulders.

Still, we look forward to hearing an official announcement from these two that they're dating.
